The latest production at Biddeford’s City Theater, “The Great American Trailer Park Musical,” feels like summer barn theater fare. Jokey and tuneful, it gives the audience, not to mention the performers, a chance to have some hokey, feel-good fun.

The musical quickly dispenses with any idea that we are visiting a “manufactured housing community.” This is a show about what happens at a trailer park, with all the stereotypical connotations very much in play. Stretch pants, muumuus and tattoos are all in evidence along with naughty jokes, just-plain-folks and doses of stand-by-your-(wo)man moralizing.

The 2005 play by David Nehls and Betsy Kelso concerns what happens when a stripper, on the run from a rough boyfriend, comes to stay at the Armadillo Acres trailer park and gets involved with a knuckleheaded guy whose wife suffers from agoraphobia, the fear of being in open or public places.

Throw in three more quirky characters, including one prone to hysterical pregnancies and another with a husband on death row, and you’ve got the makings of some funny dialogue and a bunch of wild, and very well done, song and dance numbers.

Backed by an onstage instrumental quartet led by Kevin Smith, the cast works through several popular music genres, from country to rock to disco. The players are well-matched to their parts, and the direction by Linda Sturdivant and choreography by Mariel Roy keep the energy level high throughout the 90-minute show.

Jennine Cannizzo, Rebecca Rinaldi and Alyssa Rojecki form a comical chorus as well as participate in the action. The trio worked together well at Friday’s opening performance on such tunes as “That’s Why I love My Man.” Each member established a distinct persona through which to deliver some of the adults-only show’s raunchier jokes and girl-group commentary on the action.

Ashley Christy gets to bump and grind as well as belt out a song and did it with spunk on “The Buck Stops Here.” Attracting the attention of the forlorn Norbert, played by Jason Phillips, is not difficult for her and the two went on to reveal their conflicted feelings during several numbers.

Kelsey Franklin plays the aggrieved and trailer-bound wife and, along with Phillips, showed some fine vocal skills on “Owner of My Heart.” Franklin also stood out during the hilarious “Flushed Down the Pipes.”

Matt Scribner rounds out the cast as the gun-toting boyfriend. His “Road Kill” was another comic highlight.

This “black box” (audience seated on the stage) run of the show will be followed by a full stage production in August. Why not catch it now, have a good laugh, and think summer?
